Abstract

See full text

Firefighters' suspenders having limited-stretch capability and constructed of permanently fire-resistant materials are provided. The suspenders have a plurality of elastic straps, having first and second ends, and are constructed of fibers containing an elastic core, a fire-resistant intermediate layer wrapped around the elastic core, and a permanently fire-resistant outer layer wrapped around the elastic core and intermediate layer. These fibers are woven in a crosslinked pattern with a permanently fire-resistant yarn. Joined collectively to the first ends of the elastic straps are the first ends of at least two nonelastic straps comprising a permanently fire-resistant fabric. The second ends of the elastic and nonelastic straps contain clips for fastening the suspenders to the pants of firefighters. The elastic straps give the suspenders limited-stretch capability. The permanently fire-resistant outer layer and the permanently fire-resistant crossweave of the elastic straps, along with the permanently fire-resistant fabric of the nonelastic straps, make the suspenders permanently fire-resistant.
